As a child, I couldn’t get enough of this dish and frequently asked my mom to prepare it.

Servings: 8

1 pound of pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a glass baking dish with a little butter or cooking spray.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the rolled-out dough.

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the dough.

Cut the dough into strips about 2 inches wide, then cut each strip into smaller pieces about 2 inches long.

Arrange the pieces of dough in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them in a circular pattern.

Drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the top of the arranged dough pieces.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.

Allow the bread to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warm, garlicky goodness!

For a cheesy twist, add some shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese along with the Parmesan. If you have picky eaters, consider using a milder garlic or reducing the amount. You can also experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, to suit your family’s taste. For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
